Improve by Thinking

You really can improve your life by changing the way you think. If you perceive that your life is in a ditch and you think it’s because of all the negativity, it probably is. There are many ways that you can work to change your thinking process and concentrate on the positive things in life.

Negative thinking can sometimes become an excuse to live in the rut you’ve created for yourself. You stay on ‘autopilot’ and the world revolves around you rather than taking you up in its excitement, adventures and challenges. It’s safer to stay in that rut.

The negative thinking can protect you from the outside world so that you don’t have to interact with people, listen to them and even feel anything that’s happening to you. But, when you replace the negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll find that you’re enjoying life much more. Even though there might be ups and downs, it’s preferable from the nothingness you experience by negative thinking.

Let us explore some tips to improve your thinking process…

Changing view – Change Thinking

Challenges versus Opportunities

See challenges as opportunities. Even if you face a challenge and fail, at least you’ve tried and you can pat yourself on the back and feel more positive about yourself. Think of challenges as chances to learn and grow.

Future Pace

Look forward to the future.”If you are not looking forward to the future, you are miserable in the present”. The future has so much potential for you to prosper and learn and to have all good things enter your life. Beware of yourself not to blur your bright futures’ picture based on bad experiences in the past.

Realistic Patience

Don’t expect overnight success. When you’re attempting to change your thinking from negative to positive, it won’t happen overnight. Give yourself some leeway to take some time to succeed. You may have had a lifetime of living with negative thinking. It’s bound to take some time to overcome them. Practice makes perfect.

New Brainfood

Experience and learn new things. Take a class to learn something, take up a sport or engage in a hobby that you’ve always wanted to learn more about. It could be something as simple as taking a cooking class. Just get out and do something new or embrace and improve what your are doing right now and take it to the next level.

Trick or treat

No tricks here…simply treat yourself. Nothing boosts a mood and helps you change from negative to positive thoughts more than giving yourself a nice treat… Get a massage, go out and play a game of golf, take a nice walk, have a drink with friends, a manicure/pedicure or a new piece of clothing or pair of shoes. Whatever it is that makes you feel pampered, happy or relaxed.

Rise and shine

Do not deprecate yourself in front of others. That’s negative thinking about yourself coming out in a voice to others. Have the courage to praise yourself for what you’ve done in the past. Help others think of you as a positive person rather than one who’s down on him or herself, share your successes.

Have a conscious day!
